Looking very good.

Getting closer to finishing the engine, need to do the fuel lines and fix the valve covers.

Switched tires to Firestone Wide Oval redlines in F70-15, the Goodyear G70-15 looked too big.

Cool. :sunglasse Diggin' this one. Cue theme form 'Rockford Files'.

I think the engine could use a wash, and the boltheads on the valve covers and oil pan could be painted- I'd go with metallic grey or black. Actually, the whole oil pan could be painted metallic grey- I'm not sure that they were often seen painted in the block color.

Stock oil pan would be the same color as the block. Bolts could also be the same color as the block as it would/could be painted as a whole assembly in the Chevy orange. A wash wouldnt hurt but nothing wrong with a clean engine. Fuel pump could go a goldish silver color.
